Sorry if off topic, but maybe somebody can help?

Trying to do some research on this "colourful Sydney character",
Google seems pretty sparse.

Anybody have any idea how and where I can see all the press articles
about him?

He was married to the singer, Jackie Love at one stage. Has owned a few used car yards, associates
with some nasty people.

You can ring them or web request to see what info they have before you
go in.

Mate, if you have a run-in with Jim Byrnes, I would suggest that you just
forget it and carry on with your life :)

I met Jim quite a few years ago and I did not know who he was and he treated
me quite well as I was straight with him in everything I did. I think Jim
appreciated that. No bullshit - no trying to act smart - no crapola. The
man can spot that from a zillion miles away.

I subsequently discovered that Jim loves a legal tussle and I count myself
lucky to have escape his wrath on the times he could have kicked my butt. I
am grateful to him for that.

I have not seen or spoken to Jim for many years now but I don't think he
would have changed very much from when I knew him. :)

I dunno what's gone down between you two, other than your comment that there
is a scam in some company administration. I am guessing that you lost some
money?? I am sorry to hear that.

A word of warning - Jim is meticulous with his paperwork and very very
careful with how he "designs" a company. He is usually well within the law
and will take advantage of loopholes just like any good lawyer or good
accountant or good company administrator would.

I do not want to be seen as defending Jim Byrnes as he is quite capable of
defending himself. You asked for information on Jim and I am offering you
what little I know of the man in as genuine a manner as I can. Please don't
crucify me for doing so.

My advice is to just forget it and write it off as experience. You have met
one of the best in the business :)

Not at all, thanks for the advice.

I might play this one a different way. Application to Supreme Court
to have Administration set aside on grounds of fraud. Too much dirty
linen (which I know about of the administrated company) will then come
out, serious tax evasion & customs duty evasion, etc). Friend of mine
has been down this path twice and the directors settled up privately
with him.

Of course MMMV!

I too have has a costly experience with Mr Byrnes and his auction
companies, lost about 12 thousand on items sold but I was never paid
for.
I am not the most affluent of people and sold items to purchase a
kitchen for mu home I am building. The detectives at Pyrmont took a
year to respond without any results.

Well I got $50,000-00 out of him.

I was a creditor of a company he was "advising" on scamming people,
needed one more vote to force a bodgy administration, and as I was owed
money, took him for $50,000-00, and sold him the debt.

Seems a nice enough chap on the outside, probably all front.

whilst i appreciate fascination , it never ceases to amaze me how dumb
some people can be . The gentleman who has a bee in his bonnet and
wants to know all about me need only but ask . as for the other
gentleman who purports to have lost funds with Cromwells , well sorry
for your loss ..want to swap ...i did not get 1c of your money Sir , i
invested over 5 million with no return . perhaps when big companies go
down you think that everybody who at some stage has had a management
role should contribute ...if so run for parliament and change the laws
. if People did not invest and take some risks there would be no
companies no business . clearly these comments related to fraud and
foul play come from uneducated , unwise people who should think before
they engage their mouths ...

Lets Clear the Air Here .I was imprissioned in 1986 , i did spend a
couple of days awaiting Bail in the early 80s .First i was not a
standover man ,never have been , i did not threatern anybody's family
never have . I dont control what the media say and i agree its a joke
as i am not what they say. Your misguided in the belief i go around
trying to hurt people . most of what i do is restructuring peoples
buisness when things go bad .Trying to help people save there houses
and or retain some dignity . i fund numerous court actions for people
who cant afford to run an action against a large company or bank were
the person is in the right and getting a bad deal .
now as for who you are , you could be anybody , you could be one of the
three people who gave crowns evidence against me in return for getting a
bond instead of the same hard time i served ....now i think they call
those guys who give evidence against people "Dogs" .
now i dont know who you are , i dont want to know who you are , i dont
wish you any ill will for expressing your right to free speech . If you
where one of the three "Dogs" it took a long time but i forgave them for
what they said .Clearly they had enough problems of there own . 2 were
junkies and the other Mr Barnes just not very smart .

Well Jim your still delusional I see,you should get some help there,as
your wiring is f**ked up.
As for you being smart...you wouldn't know what smart is...your just
very cunning...if your so smart you wouldn't be in so much shit all the
time would you? It seems nearly EVERYONE is wrong about you,except
YOU,in other words your the only one who is right...pathetic.
And your right everyone is entitled to free speech,calling me a dog?
Well I know who the dog is and it's not me dickhead,anyway by all
reports YOU will be getting free room and board again soon...good luck

i know who i am . i know whats right and whats wrong . To suggest i have
not been wrong in my life would simply be a lie . I dont wish to suggest
i am without blame or sin . I simply state that those who wish to make
statements of purported fact based upon what they read in the newspaper
are not very worldly or smart. I bear no man or women ill will . I
simply want to live my life . fact ;i was charged with an offense over
25 years ago . i was ordered to pay a debt to society by being locked
up for almost 2 years . i was released in 1988 ...thats 20 years ago .
my crime was deemed supply of 3.9 grams ..that does not make me a drug
lord. besides having a stoush with a bikie who was threaterning to my
family and breaking a dishonest lawyers window i have not been in any
trouble . There is a lot of inuendo about matters but there is no
evidence ..why ,,,because i have not been involved .
i am in the eye of the storm arrising out of a guilt by association
.That why i am writing a book at present , to set the facts straight .
finally whoever you are i am no threat to you . I bear you no ill will
and wish you all the happiness and success in your life .

Well Jim,in all honesty,I after reading your last post,I truely DO feel
sorry for you,all things being equal,your up against it by the looks of
it mate.the only thing is those last two sentences,hard to believe that
you wish me well,"turn the other cheek"seems to be what you are getting
at,however More likely you want to look good and possibly getting me to
lower my defenses so "someone" can put a bullet in my back....at any
rate good luck with your book...should be interesting to read...

Hate never got anyone anywhere , i am to damm old and tired to be
carrying grudges . I simply would rather put my time and energy into
making a better life for my family and if i can make enough money i
would rather do some good in the world before i die ,it would be nice
to help some sick kids or really change someones life for the better .
Its one thing for people to say and or right tough things about me ,
after 20 years and a thousand bad articles i have become impervious to
the pain , but mate when they drag your family into it thats tough . My
7 year old came home and was traumatised by a kid picking on her because
her dad was in prision 20 bloody years ago . I dont want to get more bad
press for my family sake ...i simply want some peace in my life .
sure i fire up when i believe i am right and when i get chalenged by a
person or a company or a government department if its important enough
i will stand my ground . but its simply easier to just turn the other
cheeck ...i mean really all that anger and stuff its not healthy and
there are more important things in life . I have had an interesting
life .
are you aware as a result of my media exposure re Bondy i was charged
with 13 seperate offences . I spent several years and ran 11 seperate
trials and either won each or the matter was withdrawn . 2 the crown
appealed and took the matter to the district court , i won those as
well ....Now the press wrote about every charge , every time i went to
court ...i bet you cant find any press stating i was aquited or the
charge was withdrawn or the judge said it was a hopless case for the
crown....thats because the press have a lot to answer for in the
persona they created ...its not real ...
I have had no money and lots of money . when i have had plenty i gave
lots away to the kids hospital ...you dont read about that ..there are
more good things than bad things in my past ...good things dont sell
papers ...
anyway "whoever" believe me i want no drama with anyone . I have no
grudges. even the two reporters who have made my life hell , i dont
wish them harm or ill will . its important i think to know in your own
heart what the truth is .. anyway all the best

well Jim.
I am the one that suffered badly from Cromwells. I have a very ill wife
who suffered an accident 3 months after we arrived in outback. Our dream
was to build a house, this we started and lived in at lock up stage for
many years, kitchen was two pieces of 4 x 2 with an old kitchen sink
attached and no hot water. I heard about your auction house on the ABC
radio and forwarded some rare original WW1 photos for sale by you. They
sold alright, I ordered a kitchen and the proceeds of the sale would
have covered the kitchen. Can you imagine the horror when I requested
my money to be sent and was fobbed off for weeks by some lacky of yours
whilst you fiddled the books and re-directed my money into another
company before declaring the original one insolvent? I called the
kitchen company and asked them to stop with the kitchen, too bloody
late it was made. Cap in hand I explained to them my situation, they
were human and it took me 18 months to pay it off.
I have operated trust accounts in the past and still do, never have I
dipped into the owners funds to pay for new silver limo's like the one
you had parked outside of Cromwells. I was not the only one, the
detectives told me of another chap that you sold a Bradman cap for him
and he never saw his 10 grand. I guess it is pocket money for the likes
of you, but there are some of us that needed that money. I am still
missing a heap of stuff that was never returned.
As for your violent reputation is the story true about you wrecking a
solicitors office recently?
You are a crook through and through.
Thanks for the ulcer and stress related problems that you have caused
me to suffer.

Hi Jim .... I have a question I am hoping you can answer. I believe
that Rafael Budzynski is an ex flatmate. Can you confirm that is the
correct spelling of his surname, or is it Baczynski? If it is the
latter, is he related to Adam Baczynski?
